RE: USD 362 School District – Taxpayer Notification – 2025 Miami County Property Taxes
For Immediate Publication:
Linn County made an error that Miami County was recently made aware of regarding the mill levy rate for the Prairie View School District, USD 362. This mill levy is used to calculate a portion of real estate and personal property taxes for Miami County residents that live within the school district.
The School Board approved the correct levy rate on August 26, 2025. Since Linn County is the home county of the school district, the levy amount was forwarded to Linn County representatives for further processing. An incorrect levy rate was then certified and forwarded to the Miami County Clerk’s Office to use in county tax statements. Neither the Miami County Clerk nor the Treasurer were aware of the Linn County error when certifying levies and preparing tax statements, which were sent out on November 14, 2025.
The incorrect mill levy rate resulted in a tax amount being listed on statements that was lower than the correct amount. This only affected tax statements sent to USD 362 school district residents in Miami County. Miami County Officials are working a plan of action to remedy the situation.
